Direct export to Latin America for decades
For over 82 years we have manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil — and for decades we have been bringing that engineering to Latin America. We serve 10 LATAM countries (Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia) with gear (FBE/FBEI) and centrifugal (FBCN/FBOT) pumps engineered for the most critical fluids.
Our team is fluent in Portuguese, English and Spanish, knows the foreign trade requirements of each country, and offers engineering adapted to each market. This is why mining, sugar-ethanol, chemical and petrochemical industries in LATAM choose FB Bombas as a long-term partner.

Local profile, grid frequency, recommended series and export logistics — the four factors that define the right specification.
Industrial profile of La Plata
The productive park of La Plata (one of Argentina's relevant industrial hubs) revolves around petrochemicals, metallurgy and port operations — sectors whose operations depend on reliable process and utility pumping. It is the demand profile the FB series cover from the factory, with case-by-case sizing by engineering.
Argentina's grid: 50 Hz
Electric motors in Argentina follow the 50 Hz grid — and that weighs more than it seems in selection: available speed sits at ~2,900/1,450 rpm (2/4 poles), shifting flow and head through the affinity laws. For the petrochemicals services typical of La Plata, FB delivers the set already validated for the local frequency.
FB series for the local profile
Given the petrochemicals, metallurgy and port operations profile, the technical starting point in La Plata is FBCN and FBE. The FBE (external gear, API 676 compliance) covers viscous process fluids — oils, resins, derivatives — with stable flow and operation up to 350 °C; the FBCN (standardized centrifugal, ASME B73.1 compliance) handles water, utilities and light fluids.
Export and logistics
From Cabreúva-SP to La Plata it is roughly 1,663 km in a straight line. FB exports directly from the factory: the technical proposal defines the Incoterm, the modal (road, sea or air) and the schedule, and Argentina is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries.
Frequently asked questions — La Plata
Does FB Bombas export to La Plata?
La Plata is within the export area served by FB Bombas from the factory in Cabreúva-SP. Every supply ships with an agreed Incoterm, industrial packaging and the destination's documentation package — and Argentina is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries.
Do the pumps work on Argentina's 50 Hz grid?
Yes — the set is specified for the local frequency. At 50 Hz, 2/4-pole motors run at ~2,900/1,450 rpm, and engineering corrects the pump curve through the affinity laws to guarantee the duty point at the real speed.
Is technical documentation available in Spanish?
Yes — Spanish and Portuguese are the working languages of FB technical material: catalogs, series specifications and the website. For export, the proposal documentation follows the language defined by the customer.
How does parts replacement work in Argentina?
Whoever builds the pump builds the part: seals, impellers, shafts and wear kits come from the same Cabreúva-SP plant and ship to Argentina through the agreed export flow — traceability of the critical item stays with a single responsible party.
Which series does FB recommend for petrochemicals in La Plata?
FBCN and FBE — that is the initial recommendation for petrochemicals in La Plata. The exact model, materials and sealing come from the free sizing study FB engineering runs on the circuit's real duty point.
Complete systems ready for any Latin American country
We don't just export pumps. We deliver skids, mobile units and assembled systems with control panel, ready for installation. Every project is sized for the customer's actual application — regardless of destination country.
